something benedict has done in the last couple of weeks. he has been doing things more off the cuff. this was a scripted speech, but as i said an unexpected speech. it had a very pointed message. there is a lot of speculation about how the vatican will deal with two popes. tonight there will be a new pope elected. benedict made it clear that his unconditional reverence goes to the next pope. that was his attempt to turn down the speculation about who will be in charge of the catholic church when he retires. i spoke to a lot of people who know him and many vatican watchers of a long, long time say this is a man who did not want to be pope. he is giving it up because he physically doesn't feel he can do it anymore. when he said he is going into a life of prayer and meditation, he means it. he will not meddle with the new guy. chuck? >> a story we will follow all morning long. something you only see once every 600 years. we will be back with you. let's come back to this side of the ocean. we are coming to the end. tomorrow barring something un

pope benedict the xvith is a man of conscious. if you read the statement that he made today at the consistery he said he prayed over this and he had come to the view that he could no longer give the church the service it required and tlf as may 28th, at 8:00 p.m., the seat is to be vacated and that means that the college of cardinals should proceed to elect a new pope. as claudio said a moment ago, it is a surprise as to timing but not a surprise to fact. benedict xvith on several occasions and most recently in the book "light of the world" indicated if he ever came to the conscientious view that he couldn't give the church what the church deserved, then he would step out of the way. this is a man of real humility here, we have to say. >> and it is clear that he decided to put the best interests of the church ahead of himself when you read that statement, and you can't help but take away that fact. so he, himself, seems to be saying, sending a message to the college of cardinals that you need somebody younger, and you need somebod

peter's square for pope benedict's final audience this morning, cheering and waving signs that read "thank you" in italian. anne thompson is live for us at the vatican. and anne, i know the pope gave a reason for why he's leaving. what did he share with the crowd? >> reporter: well, he told them, chuck, it was a very personal address during his final papal audience. usually those sermons are a lesson on religion, but he spoke quite eloquently about his eight years as pontiff and why he was stepping down. he said his eight years had been filled with joy and difficulty and he said at some times, he felt like the lord was sleeping during his eight years. he acknowledged, again, that the reason that he was stepping down was because of age. he fired back at his critics, as much as a pope will fire back, saying that, you know, the critics who said that the pope should not come down from the cross, he said, there are different ways to serve on the cross and that the life that he has chosen of prayer and meditation, that will begin thursday night, that is another way to serve the church. agai
